If your not in a big hurry, to get a better taper, you could put it in the ground or like I do, I put them in a large pot or growing box. Grow them for two or three years like that and see what you get. I've got about eight good size ones and twenty or more smaller ones in different stages. Good luck with it, there a lot of fun those baldies.

Oh yea, I have one that has a knee.
